The average ticket price for this year’s Super Bowl has fallen to approximately $6,900, marking a 17% decrease from last year. This price adjustment brings the costs more in line with those seen in 2023, making the event more accessible than the previous year. The venue, Caesars Superdome, can host over 15,000 more fans than last year’s location, allowing for greater ticket availability and contributing to the price reduction.
Several factors have played a role in this decline. The increased availability of hotel rooms in the area has been significant, providing fans with more lodging options. Additionally, fan fatigue has influenced the drop in demand, as some supporters find it challenging to justify spending exorbitant amounts annually.

The entry-level price for tickets currently stands at around $2,600, with a number of tickets still on the market. However, they are selling rapidly. Sales from Pennsylvania have notably led those from Kansas and Missouri by a double-digit percentage earlier in the week, although this gap has narrowed significantly. A recent 14% increase in ticket purchases from Kansas City Chiefs fans has lessened the disparity.
"Now, the gap is around 15% from Pennsylvania and about 9% from Kansas and Missouri. While it still favors the Eagles, the numbers may improve for Chiefs fans as the weekend progresses.” – Adam Budelli
Despite the narrowing gap, it appears that Philadelphia Eagles fans are currently leading in ticket sales. This is particularly noteworthy given that the Kansas City Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls. The Eagles were defeated by the Chiefs during the 2023 Super Bowl, adding an intriguing layer to this year's competition between fan bases.
“Compared to last year, which was the most expensive Super Bowl in history on StubHub, that’s actually down 56%, making this Super Bowl much more approachable — I don’t want to say affordable — when compared to last year,” – Adam Budelli
